August 29, 2025 (MLN): Fast Cables Limited (PSX: FCL) posted a net profit of Rs1.27 billion for the year ended June 30, 2025, down 33% YoY from Rs1.89bn recorded last year. This translated into earnings per share (EPS) of Rs2.03, compared to Rs3.68 in FY24, showing a decline of 45% YoY.

The company’s revenue fell 12% YoY to Rs31.86bn against Rs36.02bn in FY24, while the cost of revenue dropped 10% YoY to Rs26.48bn. This resulted in a gross profit of Rs5.38bn, down 20% YoY.

Cash dividend was given by the company at Rs0.5 per share.

Operating profit also weakened by 26% YoY to Rs3.49bn, driven by higher finance costs of Rs1.61bn, up 18% from last year.

On the other hand, other income surged 71% YoY to Rs613m, partially offsetting the decline in operating margins.

After accounting for taxation of Rs869m, the company reported a net profit of Rs1.27bn versus Rs1.89bn in FY24.
